Well, today I was inspired to pay it forward. Jennifer of Mom Spotted shared this really easy recipe for an Easy Cheese Danish and then I saw this beautiful recipe for Mini Meyer Lemon Bundt Cakes. I’ve never had a Meyer Lemon before but seeing that recipe told me I just had to try one. They’re a special lemon thought to be a cross between a lemon and tangerine but honestly, I don’t care, they’re just tasty and my local grocery store happened to have bags of them available today.

So I set out to mix the flavors of the Meyer Lemon and that Cheese Danish and create something magical.

Thus, the Lemon Orange Cream Cheese Danish was born in my kitchen.

I have no other danish to compare this to because well, it’s the first one I’ve ever had. I think I tried a store bought one once but if memory serves me correctly it hit the garbage can rather quickly. This one however will quickly go from plate to mouth and leave you wanting more. The filling itself is good enough to eat with your finger … no pastry needed.

Yum! That sounds like a good add to mine! I’ll definitely have to try the changes when hubby isn’t around. He likes his straight up cheese danish. I need to still figure out how to give it a raspberry angle. I’m thinking jam.

You’re so creative! I still need to share your pizza monkey bread. I’ve made it multiple times per week but in an ugly bread pan. I just found a bundt pan though :)

One read through, and I’m already sold without even trying it. But I might just have to try it. We love danish at our house. I know what you mean about store bought danish. A lot of it isn’t very good.

I was just at Jennifer’s and commented on her danish post that between your Monkey Bread and her danish, I’m positioning myself to blow up my scale by New Years!

What fun I’ll have doing it though.

*Tonight I chopped veggies for the Monkey bread, beat the egg, and reached for the tube of dough. Only it was a tube of cinnamon rolls from someone’s cinnamon french toast recipe. Yours maybe? Thankfully, the store is just right across the street.

Yum!!!!! I totally vowed to try Jennifer’s recipe when I saw it the other day, and now you have given an extra twist. I think I’ll make two for the Christmas weekend. Thank you for sharing! I love these recipes because they are something that anyone can master.

You had me at Pilsbury Crescent Dough! I saw this and thought NO WAY can i roll out pastry over and over, but should be do able with the P-dough! The lemon must give it such GREAT flavor! Maybe nice for Christmas Day Brunch! Doing grocery shopping for tomorrow so printing this one out! Thanks Cat!
